Reno Brewery Tours
Pedal Power
Get a group of friends together and take an open-air tour of bars and breweries around the Biggest Little City on Reno Brew Bike. By partnering with several Reno bars and restaurants, this party bike offers customizable tours of the city’s most popular watering holes. Individual seats on the bike can be purchased, or you can reserve the entire bike for 2 hour or 3 hour tours. The tours begin and end at 401 E. 4th St., inside the Black Rabbit Mead Company Tap Room. Need any ideas for where to stop on your tour? Check out our brewery itineraries to get started! Pineapple Pedicabs offers a fun and quirky way to experience Reno's brewery scene with their Reno Brewery District Tour. You'll get a behind-the-scenes experience at four of Reno's craft breweries - 10 Torr, Pigeon Head Brewery, The Depot and IMBĪB Custom Brews - while sampling craft beer, of course. The tour lasts about three hours and includes several beer samples at each brewery with a mural and history tour along the way.
Express Yourself
Let your personality, or alter-ego, shine at one of Reno’s many themed bar crawls. Channel your inner superhero, show off your swashbuckling skills or stay cozy while you crawl in your favorite onesie. These are all possible throughout the year at various bar crawls in downtown Reno. Custom cups are available for each crawl, and the purchase of a cup gets you discounted drinks at participating Reno bars. Check out the schedule of upcoming bar crawl events.
Sip and Stroll
The Reno Wine Walk is a classic monthly event that takes place every third Saturday of the month. Stroll and explore the merchants in the Riverwalk District, all while sipping yummy vino. Purchase a wine tasting ticket and wine glass at any participating merchant, and wander as you wish to any of the participating businesses for free refills.
